    I only have a few runs under my belt 5 total (4 blue side victory 1 red side failed)

    I think it has a lot to do with team builds you need a dedicated healer (easier to get blue side (for now)) and a lotta debuff you also need a balance of experienced players if one team is noob heavy you are doomed

    there are only a million variables involved with coordinating 3 full teams, but with out being too obtuse , good communication ( included both the giving of, and the understanding of directions) is paramonut

    - Or should the 3 teams of 8 split up, each taking on one of the Willforge spawns?
    we always split up as it seemed faster but there may be merit to doing them one at a time, assuming there respawn is based on the last defeat on not on a set timer ( ie: flyer in the STF)

    ETA: having Ryan on your team can't hurt ... may not help but sure won't hurt
  3. healing your buff pet is a lot easier that some of these other methods listed

    must get badges ... I hope to be done with that in another week or two. then do some serious day job parking. while I play my trusty Frad a bit.
  5. I saw no progress bars as a vig, once I went full vil I saw all the progress bars ( well save for the one that doesn't have a bar)
  6. I am looking forard to seeing what all lights up as in progress when I go from vig to vil in a week. I am sure I'll get some progress on many defeats but doubt I'll spend much time on it till I know I won't be wasting time going over the needed number.
  7. I know it should be expected, but man stock is flowing at a trickle of a pace this week.

  9. Like many I was caught off guard and didn't pull everything off (as that was my plan for Monday) But I am most impressed on how easy the change over was.

    now I just have to wait till all the new toons rolled yesterday hit 50 and start buying my crap again.
  10. Hmm so 1 week vig/rog, 18 weeks "other" side day jobs, 1 week rog/vig ...

    so on or about Jan 17th we should be getting the come full circle ?

    Much like the I paid real money for the DVD edition V.I.P. badge ...

    which I did, but at least I waited till they hit big lots and it only cost me 10 bucks .. and included a months play .. OTOH nevermind ....


    I like the idea of passport being tied to server transfers especially with the free transfer window coming up

    Crafting commons is a really good way to learn the ropes. Set IOs have similar behaviour but the cycle time is much longer; days rather than hours. Oh, and mistakes with commons are much cheaper!

    When I'm working commons, I tend to work 4 or 5 niches at a time. At least one of them will be stuck at any one time but the others will be moving. IIRC the big sellers are Acc, Dam, End Red and End Mod at levels 30, 35 and 40. There are also decent margins with some level 50's as long as you have the badges.

    Having a base really helps. It gives you somewhere to dump stuff that isn't selling.

    Have fun!

    my main badge toon (read cheap crafting costs) crafts up all his salvage at the end of play so alts and sg mates can sell them off on the market for needed inf. it's like a giant need a penny take a penny jar.

    because I play mostly at the 50 I craft 45 50 IOs and they all seem to sell for at least 2x crafting cost.
  13. I think this new currency is interesting, I think I'll try to get my 1/2 an A-merit a day in addition to 30-50 R-merits. and try to get that all done in my limited play time.

    Of course the first month or so will be getting all the other side badges, then look at gaming the system.
  14. Didn't see a thread on this.

    Are you guys forfeiting your listing fees and pulling everything next week, or trusting that nothing gets lost in the merge?


    I have ~20 purples listed currently so it is a bit of change in listing fees, but what ever doesn't move I think I am going to pull just to be safe.
  15. I too am at work ... work sucks ....

    Hmm, not sure I understand how this works, could you send me 1.5billion or so as a test so I can better understand this new system?





    little did you know my day job is as a Nigerian prince




    On a serious note, I get so distracted from trying to rebuild my wealth with trying to kit out my toons. I got this IO cheap should I flip it or slot it ? ...

    let see when I first quit a few years back I emptied my pockets of loose change to a few team mates (a few loose IOs and a billion or 2 inf), then I quit last umm September? and gave away the farm, (if I remember right at least a dozen purple sets, 20 or so LotG 7.5s, 5+ bill inf, and a half eaten ham and swiss ) then there was a stealth month where I joined in February? logged in once then got called away on a month of travel.

    PS not so much into badges as I won't break the top 10 on the server any more, but yes I do want to do all the new MoX runs as I do love the Mos ...and the 'mos if ya'll must know
  18. I have to admit I always feel a little dUmb ... pocking at me like an irritating 3 year old ...
  19. So I'm back again, and I think for a while this time.

    I just wanted to check in to see if there has been any big market shifts, at first glance through the forum here it is still a matter of buying high selling higher.



    So yeah if anyone wants to funnel some inf my way I got a half dozen 50s I gotta kit again from my last give-away-all-my-stuff-a-thon
  20. hate to revisit a thread like this, but I'm a returning player, I can't locate and media on disc. D/L the client at 50Kbps with an install time of 15 hours seems pretty sad. I followed the advise of Father Xmas but made no change. I am assuming by the lack of responses that nobody knows of a faster mirror or any solutions?
  21. I too am back; I hope for a while
  22. I was thinking about coming back, but man at the rate the Client is Downloading I may lose interest before I ever log in.


    PS :
    Howdy
  23. _23X_

    I'm back ...

    after 3.5 months off I am back ... again

    any radical changes to the market, or just that much more inflation?

    for somereason my main is still kitted out, but broke. All my alts are all gleefully empty will be fun to to see how fast I can kit them out again.
  24. _23X_

    I'm back ...

    did I miss anything?
